Thing 9

I can remember several years ago Maria talking about Merlin; I never did get a chance until now to scope things out. Boy, what alot of information. I really like the web-site study mate and that you can down-load to your I-pod. Great for me and my daughter!!

Thing 2

Well, I just listened and saw the Video 7 & ½ Habits online tutorial. I felt that even though is was kinda of boring I do believe some of the things that they discussed. ie Always have a goals in your life and the idea it's never to soon or too late to learn. That learning can and does occur beyond the formal structure of an educational institution and occurs throughout your life.

Thing 23 (Thoughts)

What great and exciting things that I have learned. I will admit a couple of months have gone by without doing any of the 23 things. I had to finish a couple of minor things and I remember how much fun I had during this process. Thank you Maryland Libraries learning.

Thing 22 (Overdrive, NetLibrary, Project Gutenburg)

What a great way to listen to books or music. In past I would take a cd to the gym to place in a cd player to listen to my books. Now I can listen on my audio device and won't have to worry about leaving the cd behind.

Thing 21 ( Podcasts)

Once I got the hang of podcast a very great way of seeing things.

Thing 20 (You Tube)

This was the first time that I actually looked at you tube. I really like watching one of my favorite song by Rascal Flatts., "God Bless the broken road has a very special meaning to me. I also really enjoyed watching the my favorite group the Eagles!!

Thing 19 (Web 2.0 awards list)

http://www.peertrainer.com/
PEERtrainer works because it changes how you think about eating and exercise. You log your food, exercise, thoughts each day. Takes 5 minutes. You do so in small groups and teams. Your team members read your logs, and comment on them. When you know that someone is going to read what you write, it helps you become more accountable. Most often, your group members are postive and motivating, and provide support- which is a critial element in helping you lose weight.
I was really excited about finding this blog, it's going to help me start my training again.

Thing 18 (word processing, spreadsheets)

Not really sure if I will use this, but it is great to know.

Thing 16 (wikis)

Hello again my fellow bloggers,
Today, I was looking over Wikis for the 23 things. I listen to a certain radio show in the morning and I always hear them discuss Wiki, wasn't sure about the format. Glad to have it on the 23 things. We are supposed to blog innovative ways that the library is using wikis. Well I was glad to see that I didn't have to become a member I don't think that I could remember another username and password just to research some things. I have noticed that when you do a Google search a lot of searches a Wikis. I have a hard time trusting a Wikis source when everybody can add to it. I have noticed that Libraries are using Wikis for ala, best reads, and subject browsing.

Thing 15 ( Web 2.0)

I can see how some of these things are true. However, I feel that people more times than not want a book for research.

Thing 13 ( Del.icio.us)

Del.icio.us the word kinda reminds me of what one of the judges says from Dancing with the Stars. I went and look around and yes another username and password was used. I am interested in web-design and knitting I created some tags on these different interest and did see some valuable blogs. Hope I can rember this one too!!! Nope didn't remember.

Thing 12 (Rollyo Search)

I had never heard of Rollyo before. I went to the site and looked around and did sign up for the site. I do love to knit and with this site and can have all of my favorite knitting patterns in one place. However, with the 23 things and the different sites I have just about gone through all the passwords and usernames that I think I can remember. Hope I remember this one.

Thing 8

I had seen the RSS feed symbol on several different web-sites and couldn't figure out what it was for. With thing 8 of my 23 things I familiarized myself and now I have my own RSS feed. I can get all the latest news on 1 site and not go to each individual site which is really great.
